Chapter Two Hundred and Five: Undercurrent
Otherwise, Grandpa said that he was sick and bedridden, and then turned his back to him. ”
This method may seem simpler, but it is also the most effective.
Unexpectedly, he was opposed by Wang Canglang: "Hmph! Do you really think he's foolish? ”
Wang's brows furrowed: "Dad, in order to make Yan'er's concubine selection smooth, it is better for everyone to cooperate this time." ”
"Choosing a concubine? He should have come to the door to choose nine years ago, why did he delay it until today? ”
"Twenty-five, which of the Ran family has lived to this age?"
"It's clear that the illness has been cured, but you have to pretend that you are not well."
"Do you really think that Pure Yang Body is fake?"
Wang Canglang's words made the three of them fall into deep thought.
"Yan'er told her daughter before that his illness is not completely cured, so she will always need that woman."
"That's why the old man said that woman can't stay!"
Wang Xiawan, who had been silent, had a fine light flashing in her lowered eyes......
Before dawn the next day, the people of the palace began to get busy.
The entrance is lit up, and it is not enough that the floor has been washed with clean water, and a thick carpet has been laid.
In the Wang family's mansion, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, all courtyards, as long as they are of the right age and have not married or have a marriage contract, they all start to dress up early.
The courtyard of the Wang family is very large, and at a glance, there is no end in sight to the layers of courtyards.
It's bigger than the Regent's Mansion on the side, I don't know how many.
In fact, at the beginning, the Wang family was not so big. But as time went by, there were more and more people in the Wang family, and the yard was naturally far from enough. As a result, the continuous expansion and expansion has led to today's huge scale.
The Wang family has a very peculiar family rule, except for the women who marry outside, the rest must live in the Wang family compound. It is in the current mansion.
Whether it's a young master from a concubine or a young master born in a concubine, in short, you can't move out. Even if they are married and have children, they must live together.
That's why the Wang family has become such a huge ethnic group today.
The arrival of Ran Zongyan made the courtyards of the Wang family suddenly become very lively.
All the ladies are carefully dressing themselves.
Who doesn't covet the title of Princess Regent?
It's just that more than 20 years ago, when Ran Zongyan's father Ran Wenqin came to choose a concubine, it was a completely different situation.
"Jia'er, did you really see the prince last time?"
Liu inserted a hairpin shining with purple gold into Wang Yijia's bun.
"Well, I did."
"Mother doesn't mean the time in the square."
Wang Yijia blushed with shyness, and said in a low voice: "I've seen it in private." ”
"How about real people?"
"It's exactly as rumored."
"Where's the face? How does it look? ”
"Mother......" Wang Yijia pulled Liu's sleeve and began to be coquettish: "How many times has my daughter said it?" My cousin's face is no different from that of ordinary people, and I don't know how much he has gotten better. ”
Liu Shi was silent for a while, picked up the rouge, and carefully smeared it on Wang Yijia's face: "Jia'er, this is your only chance." The lower body of my father and mother can only count on you this time. ”
Wang Jiayi looked at herself in the mirror with a delicate hair shape and delicate makeup, and nodded solemnly.
The Wang family has a large number of people, and it is inevitable that there will be a situation of favoritism.
The allocation of resources is also calculated according to the contribution of each college.
For example, the men of the Wang family are all officials in Xiliang City, so most of the officials in Xiliang City are from the Wang family.
Naturally, it is the best in every aspect. The rest is up to the people in each yard to fight for it.
Wang Yijia's father is Wang Fengxu, the second son of the current head of the family Wang Canglang. Don't look at him and his eldest son Wang Fengyi are brothers of the same father and mother, but because of the order in which they came to the world. made the lives of the two brothers very different.
Wang Fengyi, the eldest son of the Wang family, is now the governor of Xiliang City, and the second son Wang Fengyi was sent to a small city to become a prefect.
The officials of all the small cities and county towns to which Xiliangcheng belonged were subordinate to the Regent's Palace. And all taxes do not need to be paid to the imperial court.
And the Ran family not only has several gold mines with rich yields. He also controls more than half of the wealth and grain of the Great Lie Dynasty, and this income of Xiliang City will not be taken into account at all.
Therefore, all the income of Xiliang City fell into the pocket of the Wang family.
Wang Yijia's father is the second son, in fact, he is fundamentally no different from other concubines.
Except for a little more moon silver and a little more abundance, the others are the same.
The generations of the Wang family are all the eldest sons.
And the one who controls the Regent's Mansion in Xiliang City is the eldest son's daughter.
There is simply no one else's chance!
No, there's one more chance.
I don't know if it was a compensation given by the ancestor of the Wang family to each court because of guilt, or because of other unknown agreements. The candidate for the head of the Ran family, there is no restriction on identity!
This is the only chance for each house to come out.
Because as long as his daughter becomes the regent princess, she will successfully give birth to Lin'er for the Ran family. Not only herself, but also her parents and siblings.
The status of the Wang family has also risen in a straight line, and he can almost be on an equal footing with the Yan family.
How does this not make the royal family houses excited?
Thinking that the next generation of regent might come from his own courtyard, the men in charge of each courtyard rushed back to the royal compound almost overnight.
"Jia'er, your father is here."
Wang Yijia hurriedly stood up and prepared to salute, but was stopped by his father Wang Fengxu raising his hand.
"Jia'er doesn't have to be polite."
Wang Yijia was stunned, what's wrong today? A father who has always paid attention to etiquette, the father who usually does not smile and has always been dignified has a smile on his face?
This made her feel very uncomfortable and awkward.
"Raise your head and let Daddy see."
Wang Yijia raised her head and looked at her father with trepidation.
"Well, the makeup is quite exquisite, put this on for Jia'er."
Liu took a shiny snow-white jade pendant from Wang Fengyi's hand, and looked surprised: "Master, this is not ......"
"Well, it's the jade pendant left by my grandfather."
Wang Yijia covered her mouth and didn't exclaim in surprise, this jade pendant was worn by her great-grandfather on her father's swaddling clothes before he died.
Although it was not clear at the time why the great-grandfather passed on the jade pendant to the second grandson instead of the eldest grandson. But this did not affect the rules set by the Wang family for generations.
Therefore, even if Wang Fengxu owns this jade pendant, it can't change the fate of their family.
"Yan'er recognizes this jade pendant, and Jia'er wears it, which can increase some closeness."
Liu carefully tied the jade pendant to the most eye-catching position on Wang Yijia's waist, and then carefully smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes.
Wang Fengxu glanced out the window: "It's almost dawn, and you can come out if you are ready." My father went to the gate to wait first, Jia'er, don't let my father down. ”
"Father, please rest assured, Jia'er will do her best."
Wang Yijia looked at Wang Fengxu with resolute eyes......
The same scene was staged in the courtyards of the Wang family......
In addition to Wang Xiawan's yard......
The maid and grandmother stood in the house in horror, and the ground was full of broken porcelain. Wang Xiawan, who has always been dignified, smashed and beat with hideous eyes.
